Shrimp Toasts

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Years ago these were served as hors d'oeuvres. I've never thought that anything deep fried tastes like much unless it's served really hot, so I never bothered with them. When we were in China these were served with soups and I had to rethink the position I'd taken. When properly made and served quickly these are delicious. If you're looking for something a little different to serve for lunch you might want to give these a try. A food processor makes their assembly quick work.

Directions:1) Place shrimp, ginger, sesame oil, rice wine, and egg white in a food processor and pulse until a coarse purée forms; transfer to a bowl. Stir in waterchestnuts, cilantro, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.2) Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 375 degrees F. on deep-fat thermometer.3) While oil heats, divide shrimp spread among bread slices (about 2 tablespoons per slice) and spread evenly to edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then gently press seeds into shrimp spread to make them stick.4) Fry 2 bread slices, shrimp sides down, until shrimp is browned, about 1 minute. Turn over and fry until undersides are golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Fry remaining slices in same manner. Cut each toast diagonally into 2 triangles and serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.

Good Morning Mary!I am so thrilled that you like my new look. I was just so nervous yesterday waiting for word that the family had arrived home safely from the Dr.'s I just decided to clean and when I was finished, I had found a new me. Still Country Wings, with a little cherub and I love the colors. So me. Thank you for keeping Amy in prayer. We still have a few more hurdles to overcome. We will get there. Love the recipe as always you are a wizard with the recipes. Thanks so much Mary. Country Hugs, Sherry

I need to give this recipe a try. When I was younger we had one Chinese restaurant in town. It was a nice sit down place with a varied menu. They had dishes I just don't see these days at the chinese restaurants I have available. One of my favorite things to get was their shrimp toast. Yours looks very similar. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this post. I visited your blog today thru a google search for a shrimp etouffee and found this too. I last ate shrimp toast 6 years ago, havent found it anywhere since!! You have returned a lost treasure to me today :))
